i do think the visual design strategy anth appears to be going for of positioning claude as a cute little guy (non-human) is obviously the convergent evolutionary strategy. we might call it the kyubey strat. grok bot is doing it. little surprised oAI isn't doing it yet
watch for the thinkpieces coming in like DON'T BE FOOLED, claude is NOT capable of smiling like a cute little guy, it does NOT actually have little crab legs and arms, it's just CODE, that's not a REAL PENCIL, don't fall for the HYPE
